Storyline

Sydney Bristow is a young, athletic, college graduate who was recruited her freshman year as a secret agent for SD-6, a top-secret branch of the CIA. After a few years -- after Sydney confides her lifestyle to her boyfriend, the evil head of SD-6 -- Arvin Sloan, has him killed. Sydney learns that SD-6 is part of a rogue international agency called the Alliance of 12, out to rule the world. She becomes a double agent, working with the real CIA to bring down SD-6 with the assistance of her handler, Michael Vaughn, and her estranged father Jack Bristow -- also a double agent. Along the way, Sydney fights various rival agents, rival terrorist groups, and traitors all the while keeping her cloak-and-dagger lifestyle a secret from her friends. (Season 1) Written by Matt Patay

Trivia

The number 47 is used repeatedly throughout the series. Examples: Marshall expresses a desire to improve a camera design so that it has 47 exposures; the key code Will needs to get into a computer room in order to retrieve data on SD-6 is 4747; the crate at the Vatican which contains the painting with Rambaldi's cipher-key has a 5-digit catalog number ending in 47; page 47 is always significant in a Rambaldi manuscript; and of course, there are 47 parts to Rambaldi's magnum opus. In episodes of season 3, Sydney tries to retrieve memories of when she is abducted, as she is dreaming... Masked men take her in to a room with the number 47 largely printed on its doors. And also in the dream she sees fireworks when she looks through the window as a reference to 4th of July (4/7). Interestingly, the Star Trek TV shows also feature the number 47 many times (it's usually seen in their monitors). Also server 47 is the number of the server that Sydney needed to get information from to take down sd-6. See more »
